USC1.4
Determine and practise safe pedestrian/street behaviours and examine related safety challenges in the community.
Indicators for this outcome
(a)

Use common and respectful language to talk about pedestrian/street safety (e.g., danger, risk, stop, look, and listen).

(b)

Examine what is meant by danger (i.e., harmful consequences).

(c)

Observe and identify safe/unsafe practices in own family and community (e.g., crossing at corners or crosswalks as opposed to crossing wherever one wants to).

(d)

Recognize possible street dangers (e.g., stray animals, traffic, strangers, gang behaviours, isolated areas, dangerous items including needles).

(e)

Discuss what is meant by "risk" (i.e., a state of uncertainty where some of the possibilities involve a loss, danger, or harm).

(f)

Recognize and respond to pedestrian safety signs and representations.

(g)

Identify possible factors that make situations safe/unsafe (e.g., light/dark, fatigue, time of day, age, temperature/weather).

(h)

Describe additional expectations for pedestrian safety (e.g., know parents'/caregivers' telephone number or other ways to make contact; always let a trusted adult know where you are going and the 'path' you are taking; walk with a buddy; follow established bussing, walking, and biking routes; cross at pedestrian crossings, "Point, Pause, Proceed" at cross walks/corners).

(i)

Identify and practise ways to exercise avoidance, caution, and/or refusal in potentially dangerous situations (e.g., seek out a safe adult, say no, walk away, "be a tree" around strange dogs [fold your branches – hands, watch your roots grow – feet, count in your head until the dog goes away or help comes], stay away from animals if they are feeding or with their young).
